Frequently Asked Questions

What is medical detox?

Medical detox is a clinically supervised withdrawal process that keeps you safe while substances leave your system. Physicians and nurses monitor vitals and manage medications 24 hours a day. Detox is the necessary first step for people with physical dependence on alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines.

Does insurance cover detox in Georgia?

Medicaid, Medicare, and most commercial insurance plans are required under federal parity laws to cover medically necessary detox. Coverage depends on your specific plan and prior authorization requirements. Call the program to verify your benefits before admission.

How long does detox take?

Most detox programs in Georgia last 3–10 days depending on the substance, duration of use, and individual health factors. Alcohol and benzodiazepine detox often requires longer stays due to the risk of seizures. Your treatment team will determine the appropriate length of stay at admission.
